Definitions
- Stil another object of this invention is to eliminate overhang of a dielectric layer over a polycrystalline silicon layer.
- a still further object of this invention is to seal pin holes in a dielectric layer covering a polycrystalline silicon layer.
- Such an overhang situation is caused by over etching of the polysilicon material when the dielectric is used as a mask.
- the amount of overhang is a function of polysilicon etching efficiency; but in order to assure that the polysilicon is etched completely down to the gate oxide, some overhang will always exist. This overhang inevitably produces a difficult topology for an insulating layer and a subsequent level of polysilicon to contour.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic cross section of a semiconductor structure fabricated in accordance with the prior art.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic cross section of a semiconductor structure at an early stage in its processing.
- a monocrystalline silicon substrate 10 supports the entire structure.
- Substrate 10 can be doped with either P or N type impurities depending on whether N or P channel field effect devices are desired to be fabricated.
- the substrate may also have formed therein other doped regions formed by either diffusion or ion implantation for specific applications such as charge coupled devices having buried channels, complementary field effect devices, etc.
- the substrate 10 is covered with a layer 12, usually thermal silicon dioxide.
- Layer 12 is usually referred to as gate oxide because it is used as the dielectric between the gate electrode and the channel region therebeneath in the substrate.
- Gate oxide 12 is formed by exposing the top surface of the silicon 10 to an oxygen containing vapor at an elevated temperature causing the silicon atoms to be converted to silicon dioxide.
- This thin thermal oxide is then covered by a blanket layer of polysilicon 14.
- Polysilicon 14 is then covered by a layer of chemical vapor deposited oxide (CVD) 16 which, in turn, is covered by photoresist. The photoresist is exposed and selected portions of CVD layer 16 are etched away by standard photolithographic techniques.
- CVD chemical vapor deposited oxide
- the selectively etched CVD layer 16 then becomes the mask for the selective etching of polysilicon layer 14.
- the etchant will also attack exposed sidewalls of polysilicon 14 causing the CVD layer 16 to have an overhang.
- This overhang is partially reduced during a reoxidation of the polysilicon material 14 resulting in thermal oxide insulation 17.
- Some overhang usually remains so that a subsequently applied layer of polysilicon material 18 will have the irregular topology illustrated in FIG. 1.
- this structure susceptible to dielectric problems between polysilicon 14 and polysilicon 18 but the irregular topology of layer 18 is difficult to achieve.
- discontinuities and irregularities in layer 18 can cause subsequent problems with the finished device and also can create difficulties in subsequent processing steps.
- FIG. 2 there is illustrated an intermediate structure having a substrate 10, preferably monocrystalline silicon covered by a thermal silicon dioxide gate oxide layer 20.
- Gate oxide 20 is covered with a polysilicon layer 30 which, in turn, is covered with a layer of phosphosilicate glass (PSG) 40.
- PSG phosphosilicate glass
- layer 40 is selectively etched by conventional photolithographic techniques and, in turn, becomes a mask for the selective etching of polysilicon 30.
- polysilicon 30 must be etched completely down to the top surface of gate oxide 20. As the etching proceeds, a portion of the sidewall of polysilicon 30 will also be eroded by the etchant resulting in the illustrated undercut of polysilicon 30--and overhang by PSG layer 40.
- the additional N type phosphorus impurities obtained from the PSG source further enhance the conductivity characteristics.
- the exact shape of the reflowed PSG 40' relative to the polysilicon pedestal shaped structure 30 will vary depending on the initial amount of overhang, the thickness of the initial PSG layer 40 as well as the temperature and time duration of the reflow cycle.
- FIG. 3 shows an exemplary shape which has the same volume as prior to reflow but a lesser lateral extent substantially eliminating the overhang.
- the sidewalls of polysilicon 30 must be insulated against contact with subsequently deposited conductive lines.
- the invention of the above referenced Garbarino et al application could here be used to good advantage.
- One of the exemplary processes there described involves the passivation of the sidewalls of polysilicon 30 with PSG followed by a thermal oxidation step. In the thermal oxidation step, oxygen atoms penetrate the PSG layer converting portions of the polysilicon material 30 in situ, into silicon dioxide. This results in a composite insulating layer described in the above referenced patent application. Other techniques described therein are equally applicable.
- the sidewall of polysilicon 30 may be thermally oxidized converting the polysilicon atoms, in situ, to silicon dioxide forming insulating layer 50 as shown in FIG. 4.
- the oxygen atoms oxidize the polysilicon material 30 into silicon dioxide 50, material expansion takes place eliminating whatever overhang might have been left in the FIG. 3 structure.
- oxygen atoms also penetrate through the gate oxide 20, oxidizing portions of the silicon substrate into somewhat thicker gate oxide regions 22.
- the reflowed PSG layer provides improved insulation of the top surface of the polysilicon layer not only due to its increased thickness, but also because the heat cycle seals any pin holes that may have been present.
- the herein described "snap back" phenomenon occurring with PSG has application in other semiconductor fabrication steps requiring self-aligned insulators on a substrate. Further modifications are also possible.
- the heat cycle to produce the structure of FIG. 3 can be provided in any desired inert ambient such as argon, helium, or even a vacuum. In fact, an oxygen ambient could be used if simultaneous oxidation of the polysilicon is desired.
